What Causes Intense Lower Back Pain And Heartburn While Having IBS And Gastritis?

I am a 46 year old female previously diagnosed with Gastritis, I.B.S., a hiatal hernia and reflux. I have always had gastrointestinal issues. For the past 3 months it has drastically worsened. I have extreme pressure in my lower back and stomach, heartburn is all day everyday, nausea, constipation, cramping and it feels like something is actually blocking my bowel movements. On occasion I have accidents. For the last week I also have severe spasms and a lot of pain. A great deal more than mi I.B.S. has caused in the past 13 years.
